Each to their own, of course. Personally I like the 4 band pre-amp and finished neck better vs these features on MM rays or sterlings. I can understand how visually they may not be someone's cup of tea, but the ergonomics are very pleasing to play.

And as long as were being contrary, I am not convinced MM are the best bang for the buck bass value. IME their fit and finish aren't any better than Fender. It's been a few years but I played many , many MM basses for a few years and some were great others needed some work (nuts, frets, finish swirls, etc.)

I am awfully curious to check out one of those Classic series 'rays with the 2 band EQ. $1800 is a little steep though.

I played a Classic Series. It did not speak to me in any special way. I have tried sweet spot basses over the years and I just don't bond with them. The best MM I have played is a HH Stringray 5. If I had the coin, I would be very interested in trying a Bongo.
